As far as tuning goes, I'd recommend looking at BPM thats who I went with. However I'm actually thinking about getting it re tuned by Gintani (right next door to me in Santa Monica) because they sit with the car on the dyno for hours getting the tune right while these other guys (Velos, ESS, BPM, etc etc etc) all give you the same off the shelf tune. Plus he can add a burble if I want which sounds pretty cool and makes it that much more unique 
Congrats on the JB4! Its really a shame BMS stopped making it for our cars... theres plenty of people who still want one and it sucks that they're no longer producing it for them 
I'm getting the JB4 installed next Wednesday. It was suppose to be today but some stuff came up and they cancelled on me. Even on map 1 you'll get an additional 4psi on top of your stage 2 tune, so that alone will make a big difference. Then you can log with it and use fuels mixtures like E30 which will add even more power. Another cool perk is you can read and reset codes that pop up. I wish "Fuel It" would come out with a full E85 fuel conversion for our cars, that would be the ultimate. All these big single turbo n54 335is and other older gen cars are all running straight E85 and gaining ~25whp from it.
The KWs are amazing! Mine aren't bumpy at all and I'm pretty low. I agree H&R springs are harsh and bumpy. I had them on my older m3 and got rid of them almost immediately after installing them. Its one thing to do it for the aesthetics, but then again this a car that you want to be comfortable in and springs alone just don't offer that. You can adjust the dampening and rebound with the KWs so it rides just right without any bumpyness. The only time I rub or bottom out is when I'm on the freeway doing 75+ and hit a gigantic dip. Other than that it rides really comfortably!  |
Awesome!
yeah, definitely keep us posted on what Gintani can get out of your S63 and all your supporting mods. there only 2 or 3 hours from me.
our fuel system isn't like those of the N54/N54 vehicles. we have two or three pumps in a big complex looking bucket and bigger PTFE lines already. i don't think we will have a fuel issue running up to 50% ethanol before we reach drive-train failure. either way ill figure out a way to upgrade to ethanol compatible pumps atleast
where did you get that ptp turbo blanket/jacket from? i gotta order mine asap as my turbo ship back to texas on monday
i'll stay on the lookout for a good set of KWV3s
